Didn't the prosecutors in the O.J. case say the same thing?

[anniegetyourgun]

I don't remember, but this blustering attitude on the part of this DA can't be a good thing when one is going up against such power and money.

It all changes once a defense lawyer cross examines the prosecution witnesses and puts on his own experts.

The prosecutors in the OJ case proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt. OJ basically had jury nullification of the evidence. If you are a Kobe fan, you better hope that the prosecutors don't present the same amount of evidence as was presented in the OJ case.

I wish the judge had not allowed TV cameras in the courtroom...the first thing I heard on turning FOX news on was an Eagle County guy saying what a great thing this has been for their economy and businesses! Maybe someone should wonder if the girl was bribed by the city leaders to set up Kobe in order to benefit the community! It's all sick, I tell you!

At least the jury pool won't come from South Central...

What are the odds of having another inept judicial ringmaster like Judge Ito, and amateur lightweight prosecutors like Darden and Clark?

Didn't the prosecutors in the O.J. case say the same thing?

Yes. And they had great evidence against him for anyone willing to look. But the jury wore blindfolds.

Well OJ should have been convicted-never know what a jury will do.

[beaversmom]

The evidence was slam dunk in the OJ case--they just didn't realize they would have a jury that would ignore all of it.

[Dante3]

Yes, they did say that in the OJ case. And they did have a slam-dunk case. However, that jury might not have convicted OJ even if he had committed the crime right in front of them.

Kobe's case might well be a slam-dunk as to proof of rape. However, convicting a rich celebrity, especially one who can throw a ball through a hoop, is another matter. Look what the judge did in the Iverson case. And DeShawn Stevenson got probabtion and community service, no matter that it involved a 13 or 14 year old and her mother had his confession on tape.

And now she is covering the Kobe case for E! Entertainment!

Didn't the prosecutors in the O.J. case say the same thing?

And they were right!

[Paulus Invictus]

When will Johnny Cochrane show up and take over the defense? Will he bring a glove and a biased LA detective to screw up the prosecution again? Can he bring along the OJ jury? If so, Kobe walks.
